Next I started drawing out the lace pattern in excel. I drew out a skeleton of the YO's that I wanted and then added decreases around the pattern.

I wanted to check out the decreases were working, so I knit a swatch of each of the three sections. You can see my markings and corrections in the paper above.




Finally, I knew that I wanted there to be some fun points at the end of the shawl. I also wanted to fill in the end with a bit more design for the edging. In the following swatch, I tried out some additional "V's" versus diamonds. (I ended up going with the V's.)

Of course, Indy was very interested in every step of this process.

This shawl was really fun to design, but it was even more fun to knit. Why don't you purchase the knitting pattern and try it out yourself?
Thank you for showing us this, soul sista! I'm always designing, a mathy person too, AND a chemist!!! yeeehaaaa I loved seeing the process in pictures and the shawl is gorgeous. Very stylin'!

Thank you :) I had a lot of fun with this design. I have small ideas for a next one, but it will take some time to see it through.
DeleteRebecca, thank you for showing the technical aspect of your design. As a very analytical person myself, I love watching your videos and getting insight into your process.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty analytical myself. As a trained scientist, I'm used to keeping detailed notes on my methods. :)
